Kindle Unlimited Per-Page Rate Reaches Half a Cent in November 2018 while the Funding Pool Grew
Amazon informed authors on Friday that the Kindle Unlimited funding pool grew to $23.6 million (plus bonuses) in November 2018 , up from $23.5 million the previous month.
At the same time the per-page rate royalty rose to $0.005206, compared to $0.0048413 in October 2018. The page rate did not rise uniformly in all markets; in fact, for the first time ever the rate fluctuated differently in the EU markets. France, Italy, and Spain all now have their own monthly page rate. They used to pay the same rate, but now each market are large enough that Amazon is adjusting its country’s rate separately.
